A drainage-dehydration control method of a multi-drum washing machine

Abstract

A drainage-dehydration control method of a multi-drum washing machine, the washing machine at least comprising a first washing drum and a second washing drum; the method comprising: before the first washing drum executing drainage or dehydration procedure, judging whether the second washing drum is draining or dehydrating. If yes, the first washing drum continuing executing a washing procedure or a rinse procedure, or suspending executing the drainage or dehydration procedure until the second washing drum finishes dehydration; if no, the first washing drum starting drainage and dehydration. By the above method, the first washing drum and the second washing drum cannot execute the drainage-dehydration procedure at the same time; and during the waiting process of one washing drum, another washing drum continues a washing procedure or a rinse procedure, so as to make the rational use of waiting time and improve the efficiency of washing clothing.

         6 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 when the first washing drum continues to execute the washing procedure or the rinse procedure, it is necessary to judge whether a remaining time from reaching an end of the dehydration procedure of the second washing drum is less than a shortest interval time,   if yes, the first washing machine continues to execute the washing procedure or the rinse procedure; if no, the first washing machine stops executing the washing procedure or the rinse procedure.   
     
     
         7 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 when the first washing drum executes the drainage procedure, the second washing drum cannot execute the drainage procedure or the dehydration procedure simultaneously,   when the first washing drum executes the dehydration procedure, the second washing drum cannot simultaneously execute any one of procedures selected from the drainage procedure, a heating procedure, the dehydration procedure and a drying procedure.   
     
     
         8 . The method according to  claim 7 , wherein:
 before the first washing drum executes the drainage procedure or the dehydration procedure, it is necessary to judge whether the second washing drum is executing any one of procedures selected from of the drainage procedure, the heating procedure, the dehydration procedure and the drying procedure,   if yes, the first washing drum suspends executing the drainage procedure or the dehydration procedure, and the second washing drum continues executing a running procedure,   if no, the first washing drum starts the drainage procedure or the dehydration procedure.   
     
     
         9 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the first washing drum directly executes the dehydration procedure after the drainage procedure is completed.   
     
     
         10 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 it is judged firstly whether the second washing drum is working when the first washing drum executes the drainage procedure or the dehydration procedure,   if no, the first washing drum executes the drainage procedure directly,   if yes, it is judged whether the second washing drum is executing the drainage procedure or the dehydration procedure.   
     
     
         11 . The method according to  claim 2 , wherein:
 when the first washing drum continues to execute the washing procedure or the rinse procedure, it is necessary to judge whether a remaining time from reaching an end of the dehydration procedure of the second washing drum is less than a shortest interval time,   if yes, the first washing machine stops executing the washing procedure or the rinse procedure; if no, the first washing machine continues to execute the washing procedure or the rinse procedure.
